ferm living art



Who knew that Ferm Living, Danish purveyor of very cool home goods like pillows and espresso cups, sold lovely art as well? The prints are sleek and simple, with an appealing, muted pastel palette. The wallpaper is also nice—you could frame a section, or paper over an accent wall.

sally england


Maybe it's my 1970s early childhood, or my love of all things California, but I have a soft spot for wall hangings, when they're simple and not too crunchy. Sally England works only on commission—that's how much care and time is put into her deceptively simple macrame pieces. I like how some of them are just a bit glammed up, with a shot of bright color or gold tubing.

elise ferguson


I'm loving the geometry and color in Elise Ferguson's paintings. Some people just have an eye for composition—it's so simple, but so ingenious.

katie brennan


I think I've seen work by the Canadian artist Katie Brennan on Pinterest or some blog or other; today it just popped out at me, and I'm really noticing it (and appreciating it) for the first time.

alan fletcher


I'd never heard of the late British graphic designer Alan Fletcher until recently. His web site, apparently run by his daughter, Rafaella, is charming and very specific, with links to purchase pieces elsewhere online. I'd love for his estate to set up shop and get some profits (maybe it is already), but for now, the site is definitely worth a look.

Emily Barletta makes these amazing embroideries in Brooklyn. Of course. I'd love to hang those little red numbers in a row.

harriet bellows


Harriet Bellows is one cool woman: After an early career as a sculptor, she was a professional pilot for 30 years—and only then began painting in earnest. Her work is more or less abstract, but I have to think she's got a unique perspective, spending all that time in the sky.
